  2. how do I change the default CD burning device in Windows 10

    My pre-installed CD drive no longer burns CD-Rs that work, so I bought an external CD drive, but my software (Cyberlink Power2Go) won't recognize the new drive and will only burns CDs in the pre-installed drive. My PC uses Windows 10. How do I change the
    default CD burning device in Windows 10 so that Power2Go will recognize the blank CD-R I put in the new external CD drive instead of defaulting to the old one? Thanks!

    cd drive won't show?

    "I purchased a driver updater" sounds like someone made you pay for snake oil. Drivers are available for free; especially drivers for CD drives - CD drives usually don't even need a special driver. They use the one coming with Windows by default.

    Anyway, please have a look into the Device Manager: Does it list a section called CD/DVD drives and does the CD drive still show up there?

    If it does not: Can you look into the BIOS and see, if the drive is still visible there? There might e.g. be a list of boot devices (which you should not change)...
